Running Media Patrol on Your Physical Drives

Media Patrol is a routine maintenance procedure that checks the magnetic media on each disk
drive. Media Patrol checks are enabled by default on all disk arrays and spare drives. Media Patrol
is concerned with the media itself, not the data recorded on the media. If Media Patrol encounters
a critical error, it triggers Predictive Data Migration (PDM) if PDM is enabled on the disk array. See
Making Disk Array Settings.
